Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1106 1088. Ice and Fire

Originally, the evil dragon didn't care much about the figure walking towards him.

He just bared his teeth, with a burning red light coming out from the depths of his throat, ready to kill this idiot who dared to appear in front of him.

But after Lann finished his words lightly, Smaug stopped baring his teeth, and the humanized playfulness on the dragon's face disappeared.

Only when it looked at the human figure in its field of vision, the look in its eyes made people feel even more frightened!
But Lann seemed unaware of it.

He snapped the bolt of the heavy crossbow back into place.

"It seems that what I said was right, the great, cruel, and powerful King under the Mountain, the dragon Smaug?"

The dragon once boasted to the Hobbits about his size and strength, as well as his cruelty and irresistibility, on the golden mountains and silver seas of Lonely Mountain.

But now, these words came from the mouth of a person who had just hit it three times with an unknown weapon, causing it to fall to the ground with an unstable breath.
"Sigh~"

The corners of Smaug's mouth twitched slightly, and hot steam came out from it.

"There are flames in the Lonely Mountain Kingdom tonight. This is the first time since the kingdom was destroyed."

"It would be fine if you were the one slaughtering the dwarves, but now that you've come out, the fire in the Lonely Mountain has begun to glow steadily."

"This means that there are not only people inside, but also people who are familiar with the equipment in the Lonely Mountain Kingdom and can use the famous melting pot!"

".It's a dwarf!"

Smaug showed no expression on the surface, but under his wing claws that were supporting the ground, the huge claws were already making a "crackling" sound of friction and crushing against the rocks in the lake.

The long tail behind Smaug's huge body also changed from swaying carelessly to swaying like a venomous snake that is tense and ready to attack.

And under the evil dragon's gaze, the little man in front of it still did not show the slightest fear.

Even his mouth is still fluent.

Lan En looked up and smiled in the red light of the flames. The fire made his silver hair have a wonderful color reaction, like red glass silk thread.

The demon hunter's eyes looked directly into the dragon's eyes.

Lan En spoke every word in an unquestionable tone.

"Not only did you fail to kill the dwarves who invaded your territory, you were even driven out by them, right?"

"I've really lost my mind." After saying this, Lan En covered his forehead with his hands, looking as if he couldn't help laughing.

"I thought you were as tough as the legend says, but what happened? The dragon standing before me is simply old and fat! Dull and cowardly!"

Lan shrugged in front of Smaug, looking disappointed.

At the same time, on his retina, Mentos was reading data bars.

It combines Lann's emotional perception and experience in controlling emotions with observation of Smaug's subtle movements and muscles, and presents them in the form of a progress bar.

And this [emotion bar] marked with a dragon head is only one bar away from turning red.

So at the right time, Lan En said the last sentence.

He pretended to be helpless and spread his hands towards the tall dragon head.

"I have prepared for you for so long, but your performance now makes me feel it is a shame, Smaug."

"Just like you."

Suddenly, it seemed as if the entire Changhu Town fell into a heart-pounding silence.

The 'puff' sound of the rising flames, the 'crackling' sound of the burning wooden buildings, and the sounds of collapse all seemed to disappear in an instant.

The dragon flame was suppressed to an extremely weak level in an instant - because of the evil dragon's will!

The fire disappeared, and the light in the entire Changhu Town dimmed significantly in an instant!

High up, there were only Smaug's two huge pupils, emitting a scorching orange-red light!

Then, a scorching light penetrated through the skin and flesh of the evil dragon and reached the outside world, becoming brighter and brighter in a very short time!
Lann glanced instantly toward where Smaug was.

Smaug's limbs were supported on the huge rocks under the water, and around him, the floating ice on the lake surface almost instantly began to smoke and vaporize!
The icy cold lake water further away was also boiled instantly!

Looking at the progress bar that had already turned red on his retina, Lan En chuckled, and then an unknown small whirlwind rolled up above his legs.

His breathing frequency also suddenly changed.

[Acceleration Technique] combined with [Light Body Technique]!
The tall body flashed by like green smoke and instantly disappeared into the Changhu Town building on the side.

Although wooden buildings are extremely fragile in front of evil dragons, they are sufficient to block the view.

And the next moment Lan En disappeared
"Roar!!!"

The extremely furious roar and dragon flames poured down from top to bottom like a waterfall!
The brightness of Changhu Town, which had just dropped sharply, suddenly increased sharply again!

Between darkness and light, Smaug looks like an evil dragon that destroys everything!

However, if being angry and furious were useful, the world would be too simple.

Lann has always been accustomed to taking the initiative at the tactical level, but now that Smaug can fly, the difference in mobility has caused it to take the tactical initiative.

So Lan En simply provoked the other party's emotions and took the initiative emotionally.

If the enemy is not strong, just run over him. If the enemy is strong enough, use perfect skills to induce a flaw, and then run over him!

Although Smaug was rushed by the dwarves after being melted by a huge golden statue, he was almost crushed to death by the huge amount of liquid gold.

But it had been arrogant for a long time. Even though it was almost crushed to death by the dwarves, it actually ran out with fear, trepidation, terror, hysteria and other complicated emotions, wanting to massacre the townspeople of Long Lake Town.

But in the Lonely Mountain, the dwarves are familiar with the terrain, and there are engineering equipment, mechanical systems, and secret passages that the Kingdom of the Lonely Mountain has accumulated over countless generations.

It is indeed dangerous, so if it runs away, it will run away.

But what is Changhu Town? The sky is high and the clouds are vast, with nothing blocking it, allowing it to fly high as it pleases.

Can Smaug swallow this?
So immediately, in response to Lan's taunting, Smaug suddenly lost his mind and became furious.

"Who do you think you are facing! Bugs! Ouch!"

The evil dragon roared while spewing dragon fire.

But before it could finish its words, a fierce arrow with an air trail shot towards the corner of the dragon's mouth!
The intense heat and dragon fire spewing near the dragon's mouth made the air flow very unstable.

But in the face of Thranduil's superb archery skills, these factors are of no importance.

As usual, the arrow hit the corner of the dragon's mouth, sending sparks flying, and then broke into several pieces.

But the small ball hanging on the tail feathers of the arrow suddenly exploded!

With a "pop" sound, a cold mist with a glittering reflective glow burst out from the alchemical bomb.

The evil dragon's mouth, which was originally wide open, was immediately sealed by a piece of ice that suddenly appeared.

Although in an instant, the freezing air of the [High North Wind] was completely dispelled by the heat of Smaug's dragon fire.

But it was caught off guard and finally let out a scream, with its head tilted back slightly.

The frost that exploded on his face frightened Smaug, who was already furious and suspicious.

And after the frost did not cause any harm to it, its rage became even stronger!
"that's all?!"

The slender tail with thorns swung, sweeping across the entire fan-shaped area. All the buildings in Changhu Town were instantly lifted into the sky!
The debris of the building fell like a rainstorm!

And this is not the end. Smaug is a powerful creature after all. He has already determined the approximate location of the archer from the direction of the attack.

Amid the thick smoke and the smell of burning, its senses were not very precise right now, but why would it need precision when it was paving the ground with dragon flames?
"Roar!!!"

The roar was accompanied by flames like a wave!

"That's all you are capable of! You dare to go against me, Smaug?! You dare to stand in front of me?!"

"My teeth are stronger than swords! My claws are stronger than spears! My wings are like the wind! Nothing can break my scales! Do you think you can kill me?"

"It's just you?!"

Seeing the dragon flames rolling in, Thranduil's face was solemn but not panicked.

This is not just fire, Smaug's breath of fire also carries a powerful physical impact.

When it raided River Valley City, the dragon flame only needed to pass through the sky to "smash" the solid stone tower.

Even if the catapult's shells wanted to cause that kind of damage, they would have to hit two or three of them.

This is not a phenomenon that can be explained by "flames causing the air to expand and create shock waves."

Thranduil was originally hiding on the edge of Lake-town, and Smaug's dragon fire breath swept all the way from the middle of the town where it landed!

All the houses and even stone walls along the breath path were swept away!

The Elf King looked solemn but steady when facing Long Yan again.

He skillfully put away his bow and arrow, and moved away with several elven archers around him in an extremely light and nimble manner.

Hidden in the messy buildings of Changhu Town.

"There's nothing to worry about. Everything is going as planned so far."

The Elf King moved quickly while comforting the several elven archers who were with him.

At the same time, in other directions of the town, more archers took the opportunity to continue shooting at Smaug.

I didn't mean to hurt it, just harass it.

"I just made it raise its head." Thranduil led the way and ran quickly on the messy terrain, while turning his head to ask the elven archer behind him.

"Did you see it just now? It's near the chest and abdomen of the left wing. It's the legendary dragon scale that was shot off!"

The manners developed over a long period of time allowed Thranduil to speak and run at the same time without any haste or awkwardness.

But the elite archers behind him knew that Thranduil panicked again when he faced the dragon flame that almost killed him.

Otherwise, with his archery skills and eyesight, how could he ask such a question?
It should be normal for Thranduil to shoot an arrow at the corner of the dragon's mouth and observe its condition at the same time.

Even if it was his son, Legolas should be able to do it if he behaved normally.

However, after all, the elves have been friends for thousands of years, so the archers did not directly point out Thranduil's poor performance.

Report directly.

"Not optimistic, Your Majesty."

An archer jumped lightly over a fallen, burning beam and followed Thranduil.

"I carefully observed the left chest and abdomen of the dragon, but I don't know what the dragon did with the treasure of Lonely Mountain. There was a layer of messy and shapeless gold on it!"
